How tall is your Yorkie? I have looked at the standard sites, but it does not address the height.

Eddie is 10" tall, which I believe is the max under the breed standard. But I have no idea where I saw that.

Pippa is 8.5" to her back.
I've also read that 10" or under is within breed standard, would be interesed to see others heights

Maggie is about 9.5"

Cali is 9 long and 8 tall

I hope not! Eddie is 14" long from neck to base of tail! He is a little over the standard in weight at 8.5.

Yes...that is what I have been told as well.

The length question is interesting. I checked out akc and ytca Web sites, and I couldn't find anything that said 9". In fact, I couldn't find anything that said 10" tall. The only number they have is for weight, and that's less than 7 pounds.

YTCA does say the back should be relaltively short, but what is short?

Does anyone know where the 9" number comes from?

ginger's 10-11 " to her back and 17' from topnot to tail (ok, it's not really a topknot, its more of a tuft)
